Adding TiC Nanoparticles to Magnesium Alloy ZK60A for Strength/Ductility Enhancement

<table>Schematic diagram illustrating compressive shear buckling of nanoscale rod/disc intermetallic in ZK60A/TiC nanocomposite. <i>τ </i><sub>a</sub> and <i>τ </i><sub>b</sub> represent planar shear stresses, where <i>τ </i><sub>a</sub> &lt; <i>τ </i><sub>b</sub>. <i>η</i> (exaggerated) represents very low angular deflection of the brittle rod/disc intermetallic during buckling.</table>
